$650 Million Payout Proves Government Conspired To Lie About
9/11
Authorities hid truth surrounding September 11 in the immediate
aftermath of the attack, telling dying heroes “the air is safe
to breathe,” so how on earth can asking what else they lied
about be hurtful to the very victims the government stabbed in
the back?

The $650 million dollar payout in the 9/11 toxic dust settlement
serves as a stark reminder amidst an attempted establishment
purge of any questions surrounding what happened on September
11, that the government did indeed conspire to lie about 9/11 in
the immediate aftermath of the attack.

“Rescue and recovery workers who were exposed to a toxic brew of
smoke and dust in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist
attacks have been awarded $650 million in a compensation deal
struck in New York,” reports the London Times.
“Thousands of 9/11 heroes, including firefighters, police
officers, construction experts and emergency workers, have filed
lawsuits since 2003 but last night’s agreement is expected to
put an end to years of legal battles.”

As 9/11 truth organizations have constantly emphasized as part
of their efforts to aid 9/11 first responders, it was a
government lie about 9/11 in the very days after the tragedy
that set in motion an 8 and half year legal battle to obtain
justice for the heroes of that fateful day.

Five days after the 9/11 attack, Christie Todd Whitman, then
head of the Environmental Protection Agency, told reporters,
“The good news continues to be that air samples we have taken
have all been at levels that cause no concern.”
However, the EPA’s own Office of the Inspector General later
revealed that this was an outright lie. In August 2003 it was
revealed that the government ordered the EPA to give the public
misleading information, telling New Yorkers on September 12 it
was safe to breathe when reliable information on air quality was
not available and Asbestos levels were known to be three times
higher than national standards.

“Whitman’s deliberate and misleading statements to the press,
where she reassured the public that the air was safe to breathe
around lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, and that there would be no
health risk presented to those returning to those areas, shocks
the conscience,” Manhattan Federal Judge Deborah Batts wrote in
February 2006.

Further documents obtained by CBS news in September 2007
revealed that Lower Manhattan was reopened a few weeks following
the attack even though the air was not safe.

The two devastating memos, written by the U.S. and local
governments, show officials knew the toxic soup created at
ground zero was a deadly health hazard. Yet they sent workers
into the pit and people back into their homes.

“Not only did they know it was unsafe, they didn’t heed the
words of more experienced people that worked for the city and
EPA,” said Joel Kupferman, with the group Environmental Justice
Project.

EPA whistleblower, Dr. Cate Jenkins then wrote a letter to
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and other members of the New York
congressional delegation blasting the EPA for hiding dangerous
toxins from ground zero workers in the aftermath of 9/11.

The letter claimed that EPA-funded research on the toxicity of
breathable alkaline dust at the site “falsified pH results” to
make the substance appear benign, when it was, in reality,
corrosive enough to cause first responders and other workers in
lower Manhattan to later lose pulmonary functions and, in some
cases, to die.

According to the 2003 EPA Inspector General’s investigation,
Whitman conspired with the White House to lie about air quality
at ground zero. Internal documents show it was Condoleezza
Rice’s office that gave final approval to the infamous
Environmental Protection Agency press releases days after 9/11
claiming the air around ground zero was “safe to breathe,” and
that Whitman was merely following orders to mislead the public
and ground zero workers.

Not only did the government deliberately lie about the aftermath
of 9/11 and knowingly put the very heroes of the tragedy at
risk, but they spent the next 8 and a half years attempting to
cover up the fact while hundreds of ground zero first responders
died agonizing deaths.
If the government was happy to take actions they knew full well
would lead to the deaths and crippling illnesses of thousands of
the finest and most upstanding Americans in the country, how the
hell can we close our eyes to the possibility that they could
have had any involvement whatsoever in the actual 9/11 attack
itself?

Now that it is public knowledge and proven that the government
conspired to lie about the toxic dust, putting thousands of
people’s lives at risk, and leading to the deaths of hundreds,
why on earth should we so readily believe any other aspect of
what they told us in the days and weeks after the tragic event?

9/11 truth organizations like We Are Change have been
instrumental in aiding the thousands of ground zero heroes who
were lied to and abandoned by their own government, and have
spent years running charity and fundraising events in support of
9/11 first responders. And how did the media and the
establishment react? By demonizing 9/11 truthers as dangerous
extremists and terrorists.

While the establishment continues to attack and smear the mere
act of questioning the official 9/11 story as hateful and
upsetting to the victims of 9/11, the government has, since the
day of the attack, stuck a knife in the back of those very
victims and twisted it for the last 8 and a half years.

Today’s ruling serves as a stark reminder that challenging the
official 9/11 story and demanding a new investigation is not
only necessary for the country, it’s imperative in order to
achieve justice for those who were killed on 9/11 and the heroes
who paid with their lives trying to save others – people who
were cruelly disregarded by a government that had resolved to
lie about the immediate aftermath of the attack.
